Ziehl named Zimbabwe convener of selectors

Kenyon Ziehl, a former first-class player, has been appointed Zimbabwe's convener of selectors. He had led the panel earlier as well, from the end of 2007 to 2009

Kenyon Ziehl has been appointed Zimbabwe's convener of selectors. He will head a panel that includes national coach Dav Whatmore, assistant coach Douglas Hondo and captain Elton Chigumbura.
Ziehl, 52, has played two first-class matches, one List A game, and was part of a Zimbabwe A team as well. Although he did not play international cricket, a ZC release said he did represent Zimbabwe in rugby. He has previous experience as a selector, having led the panel from 2007 to 2009. He has also had a good reputation as the CEO of the Rhinos franchise.
"It is an honour and a privilege to be appointed once again as convener. I will carry on the good work my colleague Givemore [Makhoni] has been doing because it is vital that as the national selection panel, we do our best to ensure a positive team performance," Ziehl said.
His predecessor Givemore Makhoni has been named the new director for development and club cricket.
